Getting ready for a new big day!

Just in case you are wondering...it is time for school on Monday :)

So this week I decided to face my fear of oil cloth and made the girls some pencil cases...

After few trial, I am now happy with the Easy speedy pencil case (I will show you what I found worked the best ...easy!)

and 

I just learned that oil cloth was just fine...not sure what I was worried about??

The girls decided to perfect their baking skills with a "just by themselves" little cake while mum had her hands occupied...

Shame I could not have any, I just have caramel cravings now!! 

Another project got done following the circle zip ear bud pouch tutorial from here.

Apart from completely forgetting to add the "tag thing"...it will be very handy for Miss E.

The book covering job got done too but...

I honestly do not do very well with anything too sticky!!:)

So I used some craft paper that I had and we decorated happily!

Over the weekend I also experimented with passion fruit and lime in my cooking.... mmmmm!

Tomorrow life goes back to lunch boxes, running against the clock 

and

 new activities (courtesy of mum's taxi)

We are all waiting to know the new class, new teacher, new friends...

My memories of school days are a little different than what the girls are living here

 but I can always remember the excitement  of "la entrée"!

Wishing you a great back to school if you are like us tomorrow.
